The optical fibre is an essential tool for our communication infrastructure since it is the main
transmission channel for optical communications. The latest major advance in optical fibre …

This paper reviews the characteristics of coupled and uncoupled multicore fibers for
enhancing the capacity of optical fiber communication system by utilizing both the space and …

Space division multiplexing (SDM) is mainly seen as a means to increase data throughput
and handle exponential traffic growth in future optical networks. But its role is certainly more …

Abstract Space-division multiplexing (SDM), whereby multiple spatial channels in multimode
and multicore optical fibres are used to increase the total transmission capacity per fibre, is …

Few-mode multicore fibers (FM-MCFs) that enable dense space-division multiplexing
(DSDM) have the potential to drastically improve the fiber capacity. In designing the FM …

We discuss optical transmission using homogeneous, single-mode, multicore fibers. We first
describe the key fiber properties that can affect transmission, such as intercore crosstalk and …

Spatial division multiplexed optical transmission over a multi-ring-core orbital angular
momentum (OAM) fibre is reported for the first time. The seven cores in the fibre each …

We present a high-core-count 32-core multicore erbium/ytterbium-doped fiber amplifier (32c-
MC-EYDFA) in a cladding pumped configuration. A side pum** technique is employed for …

We demonstrated simultaneous usage of 228 spatial channels (effectively) within a strand of
fiber. We fabricated a 13-km 39-core 3-mode fiber and constructed a bi-directional space …

We designed and fabricated a 100-GHz range integrated photoreceiver with zero-bias
operational uni-traveling-carrier photodiode and pseudomorphic high electron mobility …
